The Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday proved once again that puppies make everything better.

Dirk Nowitzki is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer who has been a fan favorite not only for his singular style of play, but also for his loyalty to Dallas and overall good-guy image.

That’s about as good as it gets, right?? WRONG.

The Mavs went and got a puppy, and named it Swish (after Dirk, whose Twitter handle is @swish41). On Wednesday, the pup got to meet the 7-foot-tall German, and it was everything.

Swish is an eight-week-old Guide Dog for the Blind in training, according to the Mavs’ website. His role on the team isn’t completely clear, but two things are certain: He’s a PR stud for the Mavs and the internet loves him.
